Mar10 Peach

I certainly couldn't let Mar10 pass by without getting Princess Peach in on the action! First is a fun little trading card I did for an art group that I'm in. That's one lucky Toad. As for the second image, I honestly debated on if it really belonged in the Secret Stash. I mean, it's sexy, sure, but it's not exactly explicit. But on the other hand, if you get the reference then, well, you know... lol

This Week's Streaming Schedule

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be rearranging the streaming schedule a bit this week. My mom's birthday is on Wednesday, so I won't be streaming that night. Instead, I'll be bumping my regular Wednesday night Picarto stream to Tuesday and canceling the regular Tuesday Twitch stream. The Picarto stream is getting preference mainly because I have a bit of a theme going there this month that I don't want to mess up, whereas the Twitch stream is a bit more "whatever ...

"Dinosaurs" sketch cards WIP

I picked up some sketch card blanks themed around "Dinosaurs" the other day, and here's a WIP preview of my first two cards. It's the Red TyrannoRanger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Savage Land Rogue from X-Men. Clearly I'm stretching the theme a little, but I think they still count. Color versions hopefully to come eventually!

Feb CotM: Howard The Duck!

This is the Card of the Month for February. Members of the $5+ tier will receive a physical copy when the next batch of physical releases go out. Be sure to upgrade if you'd like to get in on future releases. 

I imagine he's bitterly waiting for Disney to call about when HE's getting a series.

February Picarto Stream Art

Here's a collection of all the art I did on my Wednesday Picarto streams this month! I'd been doing a lot of drawing on my streams lately, so I decided to focus on coloring this month. It was a lot of fun and felt more rewarding as I was actually finishing stuff on stream. That being the case, I think I might continue with coloring focused streams, at least for a while.

If you'd like to see more, don't forget I stream my 18+ art on Wednesdays on 2021-02-25 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post

Oil Painting On Twitch TONIGHT!

Hey, everybody! I already announced it publicly on my facebook page last night, but I wanted to make sure you were all aware that I'm going to try doing an oil painting on Twitch again tonight. I managed to get everything set up so that I'll be running off of my desktop computer instead of my laptop, so it should go ... well, as smoothly as it ever does for whatever that's worth. lol

I'm also going to be raffling off the painting that I'm working on to one lucky viewer. All anyone has t...

[REDACTED] Loves You THIIIIIIS Much!

Sometimes when I'm drawing a comic, certain panels will stick out to me, and this is one that REALLY stuck out to me. I liked the rough sketch version so much that I actually ended up drawing the panel in an entirely separate file so that that I would have a large, isolated version of it in case we ever decide to use it for anything else like posters or banners or what have you. 

"We don't make mistakes...

We just make happy accidents."

So, yeah, my oil painting livestream last night ended up bombing due to technical issues. My laptop, which usually works fine, picked last night to suddenly run like molasses, and even though my broadcasting program showed me that I was live the entire time, apparently no one was able to watch me for more than a minute or two before my feed cut out. It's frustrating, too, because I actually felt like it was a good stream! I know I'm not usually very talkat...

The Joy of Twitch Streaming

Hey, everybody! I wanted to let you all know that I'm planning on doing something a little different for this weeks Twitch stream. I'm going to try (may the gods of web cam set ups help me) streaming an actual oil painting! It's be like watching Bob Ross, but not as good and probably with a lot more swearing. (Actually, for serious, I have two paintings in mind that I'll be deciding between and either one sho...

Sunset

My latest painting, another paint along with Bram, the artist who inspired my previous Northern Lights painting. I have to say, I'm really getting into these more simplistic paintings with limited pallets. This one used a grand total of 4 colors, and if I had it to do it again, I would probably eliminate one of them and just do it with 3. This was also my first time using two new brushes, the Bob ...

WIP Batgirl Side-eye

I love playing with facial expressions, and I really liked how this one turned out. Whatever's going on, it looks like 'ol Barb ain't got no time for it!

Aurora Borealis?!

Painted entirely in my kitchen! 

So, frustrated with the Bob Ross paint alongs, I decided to try a more simple painting I found online. I actually don't hate it too much! The green isn't as vivid as in the source video, but I don't have any Bob Ross "Liquid Clear", so I used linseed oil instead, and that might accoun...

Mountain Summit: Take Two!

So I took another shot at "Mountain Summit", the first Bob Ross paint along that I tried a couple weeks ago that totally kicked my ass. This time it turned out... better. I mean, that's not saying much since last time my clouds were more or less transparent and the mountain was messed up and I ended up throwing the entire thing into the trash can (I dug it out later to keep as a reminder/motivation), but you know, progress. It's still totally what Bob would call a "mud mixer", though. I'm rea...

All I want to be... is someone who gets to be... killed by a giant woman (a giant woman!)

I wasn't going to jump on the Lady Dimitrescu hype train that's been taking over twitter. I'm already so busy with other stuff! But now I officially have people asking me about it, so I decided I needed to at least do a quick sketch. And, yeah, it probably won't be my last.

WandaVisions Sketch Card Preview

So how 'bout that WandaVision, huh? I'm certainly intrigued. I expected it to be a bit of a mind-fuck, but I didn't quite expect it to hover so close to 'horror' territory. The scene with the choking boss and his wife (AKA, the delightful mom from "That 70's Show") just repeating "Stop it" was just so damn unsettling, it was the moment the show hooked me. 

Anyway, I was inspired, so I decided to make Wanda/Scarlet Witch the first Card of the Month card for what I'm thinking of as W...

Spider-Gwen: "Web" Accident

The Spider-Gwen drawing I started on last week's Picarto stream and then finished this weekend. Looks like even organic web shooters can suffer malfunctions, too!

Mighty Mountain Practice

I wanted to practice my mountains in oil paint. I think they turned out pretty okay considering this is only, like, the second time I've tried to do mountains. I'm not sure if this falls into "happy accident" territory, though, because the snow didn't really work the way it's technically supposed to, but it's hard to argue with these final results.

I also created a gif to show the steps. I kinda forgot to keep taking pictures once I started in on the mountains, so there's a bit of a jum...

Return of the Rising Revenge: The Come Back Strikes Back 2: Secret of the Ooze

Hey, everybody! Long time no post! So I've been meaning to write this since about the last week of December, but... *trails off, begins to stare blankly while war sound effects play in the distance* W-wha... Where was I? Oh, yeah. The first couple weeks of 2021 have felt more like the 13th month of 2020, complete with the lousy Smarch weather, but nevertheless, I've decided to officially make my return to Patreon! I am going to be doing things a little bit different, though.

Fi...

Taking A Break

Hey, everybody! So, I've been thinking about something for a few days now, and I had some technical issues last night with my computer for all intents and purposes dying on me that I'm taking as a sign from God/the Universe/2020 to finally pull the trigger. I've decided to put my Patreon temporarily on hold.

Before anyone says anything, I'm not quitting! My Patreon page will remain up, none of the posts are going away, I might even throw up a new post from time to time if I want/need to...

Spooky Sexy!

Tomorrow is October 1st, and Halloween season is upon us! I know I'm hardly alone when I say that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. The costumes, the candy, the spooky movies - what's not to love? It's also arguably one of the sexiest holidays! How that ever came to be, I'm not sure, but I've decided to take full advantage of it! How?

First, I'll be participating in Kinktober. What's Kinktober, you might ask? Well, you've probably heard of Inktober, the annual challenge to creat...
